In Drop-Dead Blonde, four of today's top mystery authors-Nancy Martin, Denise Swanson, Elaine Viets, and Victoria Laurie-spin four all-new tales of fair-haired sirens, secrets, and seduction.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good anthology, but...
I really liked the DROP-DEAD BLONDE anthology, which I bought for the short story by Victoria Laurie. Unfortunately, other than the characters being the same, it doesn't really fit into her Psychic Eye Mysteries series. Definitely read the other stories in the Psychic Eye Mysteries series, but don't worry if you read this one out of chrological (by publication date) order.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Little Of This....A Little Of That
For a quick read, "Drop Dead Blonde" is a good choice. Four authors with quick mysteries followed by a chapter in each one of the author's next book. It made you want more. My favorite was Victoria Laurie's. The short story and snippet from her next book had me online ordering the rest of her books. This is a good way to try out new authors. Good read!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous Foursome
Do blondes really have more fun? Sure and the authors in this book show that even dying can be a ball. Get ready for four funny stories, each taking a different kind of blonde and showing what can happen when girls just want to have fun.

Nancy Martin's "Slay Belles," puts Nora Blackbird on the trail of a shopaholic who will do anything for the perfect purse. Dogs, sisters, and the general madness of Christmas make this a fun read.

Elaine Viets' terrific "Killer Blonde," gives ... Read More
